  • Present and demo the Alkira platform to technical decision makers, from engineer to CIO
  • Clearly articulate the Alkira value proposition, with a good understanding of the market, industry and competitive landscape
  • Partner with Alkira Account Managers to understand customer requirements and pain points. Assist with any technical asks from customers and help respond to RFP/RFIs
  • Scope, run and win Proof of Concepts end to end, with senior SE support on the largest and most complex engagements
  • Assist customers with design and deployment based on best practices
  • Work with the Alkira Product Management team to provide feedback on upcoming features from the customer's lens
